A multi-layered copper line structure of a semiconductor device with a lower copper line, an upper copper line, and a via contact, which electrically connects the lower copper line and the upper copper line, can incorporate one or more dummy via contacts to reduce the occurrence of voids in the via contacts. The one or more dummy via contacts can be formed adjacent the via contact and non-electrically connected to the lower copper line.
